Clinical tests are those in which specimens are examined and results reported to the provider or patient for the purpose of diagnosis, prevention or treatment in the care of individual patients. Note * United States laboratories performing clinical tests must be CLIA approved. What is a Research Test? Research tests are those in which specimens are examined for the purpose of understanding a condition better, or developing a clinical test.

Patients with specific questions about genetic counseling or testing should contact their healthcare provider or a genetics clinic.” “Intended Audience: GeneTests is focused on the information needs of genetics professionals and assumes familiarity with the genetic mechanisms of disease causation and genetic counseling principles. Other healthcare providers using GeneTests are encouraged to consult a genetics clinic with their questions about the application of genetic testing to the diagnosis, management, and genetic counseling of their patients (use the Clinic Directory to locate a genetics clinic). Consumers are encouraged to speak with a healthcare provider or a genetics clinic for questions regarding availability and appropriateness of genetic testing.” This tutorial is not a substitute for medical training, it is to help users improve their database searches and become familiar with GeneTests’ resources.
